Magento - Programmatically reorder

Question

Hello,

I am currently making a module that requires me to take an order object and make it reorder itself.. thus, creating a new order in the backend with the exact same items and credentials.

This is the code that i have thus far… it doesn’t seem to reorder the item or create and add another backend order.

$personsOrder = Mage::getModel(’sales/order’);
$personsOrder->loadByIncrementId($order[’model_order_id’]);

$order_model = Mage::getSingleton(’adminhtml/sales_order_create’);
$personsOrder->setReordered(true);

$order_model->initFromOrder($personsOrder);

/*
$order_model->save();

$order_model->place();
$order_model->sendNewOrderEmail();
*/

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

My first thought is that you should be using $order->getIncrementId() on line 2 rather than $order['model_order_id'], but I'm not sure where you're getting $order from in the first place. Have you checked that $order['model_order_id'] is actually returning a valid increment ID? I don't see model_order_id as a field in the database anywhere...

I'd be suggesting that you getting your IDE and XDebug working so that you can inspect the objects as you work with them and understand what's going on.
